I'm afraid more cats will end up being pts instead of finding loving homes if potential owners are frightened off by being told they have to spend ££££ each week on specialist cat food

No one is advotaing spending £££ each week on cat food. However, as will no doubt be pointed out if you cannot afford to look after your pets then ......
On a cost basis £ for £ quality food is more cost effective that cheap food, whilst the £ per kg is lower for cheaper food you generally have to feed more as there is less nutrients for the cat to absorb this can be seen in the amount of junk that comes out of the back of your cat on cheap food compared with the amount on a quality food.
In addition the quality of food can affect your cats health over time and whilst you may be saving on food costs in the short-term you can be building up large vet bills in the longer term.
